Commission Board Terms

Text from State Statute 71-8604 (2):

“Board members shall be appointed for staggered terms with the initial members appointed for terms as follows: Two members for terms ending on December 31, 2001, and three members for terms ending December 31, 2003. Subsequent appointments shall be for terms of four years with no board member appointed to more than two consecutive terms. Board members whose terms have expired shall continue to serve until their successors have been appointed. In the case of a vacancy, the Governor shall appoint a successor for the unexpired term. Board members may be removed for cause.”

Appointments after 12-31-2001 will be Four Year Terms.

The two term rule counts only when a Commissioner has served two of their own terms. When replacing someone they are allowed to serve additional years.
